A gut health nutrition expert has urged those looking to lower their cholesterol to add three specific foods to their weekly shopping list.
Dr. Megan Rossi, who holds a PhD in nutrition, also recommends the same approach for anyone aiming to maintain overall fitness and well-being.

The three key foods are:
Oats
Legumes and beans
Kiwi fruit
Oat Fiber
Dr. Rossi explained that oat fiber binds to cholesterol and prevents the body from absorbing it, making recipes that include oat flour particularly effective in supporting cholesterol reduction.
Legumes and Beans
Research has shown that legumes and beans support a healthy gut microbiome that helps break down cholesterol.
Rossi noted:
“This might explain why people with higher levels of Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus in their gut tend to have lower blood cholesterol levels.”
Kiwi Fruit
Kiwi is especially helpful for those suffering from constipation. Maintaining regular bowel movements can also contribute to lowering cholesterol levels.
Additional Cholesterol-Lowering Foods Include:
Avocado
Olive oil
Almonds
Soy
Berries
Oatmeal
Salmon
